Ingredients
  

250g fettuccine or your pasta of choice

200g chicken breast, sliced into thin strips

200g mushrooms (button or cremini), sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

    Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken breasts and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Cook the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 4-5 minutes until softened and browned. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

        Create the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream, mixing well, and let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.

          Combine: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet along with the cooked pasta. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

            Serve: Plate the creamy chicken and mushroom pasta, and garnish with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.

                Presentation Tips: Serve in deep bowls, twirling the pasta into an artistic mound, and top with additional parsley and Parmesan for a touch of color and flavor. A sprinkle of freshly cracked pepper can also enhance the visual appeal.
